What is life like in VMMC?
This is an important question for medical aspirants.
As I joined VMMC, I had the same question in mind. After spending some time at this institution, I realized that it is a bittersweet experience. You’ll attend classes regularly, from 8 in the morning to 4 in the evening. On top of that, there are 2 hours of lab, and alternate tests. It does get exhausting after a while.
In comparison to other DU medical colleges, the study load is not much. You will also get the advantage of an internal PG quota. VMMC is close to most of the markets- CP, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar,etc. Also, there are affordable hangout places nearby.
So, you will experience both good and challenging moments at VMMC. You’ll learn a lot from this institution, and grow into a skilled medical professional.
Do Thapar University students think they are inferior to IITians and NITians?
Honestly, Thapar University students do have an inferiority complex with IITians and NITians at least in terms of education.
My brother is in Thapar University and has friends in top IITs. He says that their intellect and talents are incomparable to even the toppers in his batch. IITs accept the best students only so most of his friends got 300s rank in Advanced and 100s rank in Mains.
It’s not just their academic profiles, but these IITians are much more hardworking and determined than any of his batchmates in Thapar. My brother feels that students making it to the top IITs deserve the hype they get and are without any doubt superior to any Thapar student.
So, yes Thapar students do feel they are inferior to IITians and NITians and their feelings are justified because they cannot match the level of IITians.
How has BITS Pilani changed your life?
BITS Pilani can make great changes in one's life. This institute made me humble, stress-free and organized.

Will Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata refund me the fees if I take admission in another college in SPOT counselling of WBJEE 2021?
Yes, you will get a refund. However, you will not get the total amount. As by then you would have attended 9-10 classes in Heritage Institute of Technology, the institute will calculate that and hence deduct about 10-15% of the total fees. And the remaining amount will be refunded by the authority. But, it is important to know that this process is a little time-consuming. The authorities will take about 10-15 days to complete the refund process.
One of my friends got admission to IEM Kolkata and after getting Kalyani in Spot round, he left IEM. He had gone through the whole refund process. The fee he paid was about INR 80 Thousand. He got a refund of about INR 69 Thousand. So, there is no such risk. You will surely get your fee refunded if you choose to leave this college.
Which is best CSE in vasavi college of engineering or chemical engineering in IIT TIRUPATHI?
Whenever you are confused between two branches in two different institutes, always prioritize the branch and your inclination towards the same. Institutes do matter but not more than the branch. Both branches are diverse and have different applications. Comparing them would do you no good so it’s best to find out about your interests.
The institute, however, does play a certain role in shaping your career. Aspects like infrastructure, faculty, location, and placements scenario should always be considered. That being said, IITs have the best brand value and enjoy high credibility in the foreign market too. Moreover, their academic environment is multifaceted, helping you grow as a person. The top-notch faculty is another reason to prefer IITs over other institutes.
As far as placements are concerned, they are directly proportional to your hard work, talents, and skills. However, some big companies give preference to IIT and NIT students more than other colleges. So, unless you have an interest in CSE, it’s better to choose IIT Tirupati.
